David Beckham rescued by police as Miami fans mob footie hero

AMBUSHED: Football superstar David Beckham was mobbed by enthusiastic fans in Miami, USA [SPLASH NEWS]

The England legend planned to watch youngsters play after announcing he’s setting up his own professional team there.

But police formed a protective ring around him as it descended into chaos. Then they whisked 38-year-old Becks to a waiting car amid fears of a deadly crush.

Local youth coach Luis Coronado said: “Unfortunately the kids got disappointed because they wanted to see Beckham. It was chaos.”

Becks sent Miami into a spin with plans to build a stadium on the city’s seafront and bring top players to the US league. Internet jokers suggested calling the team Miami Vice, Miami Metrosexuals and Miami Goalphins.

Ladbrokes have his ex-teammate Paul Scholes 8-1 to be coach and his 14-year-old son Brooklyn 2-1 to play for the team.
